Abstract

Reconnaissance was conducted in areas to be impacted by levee construction and the relocation of recreation facilities downstream of the Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir. The survey was conducted on the western edge of the Ozark Highland at the border of the Springfield and Salem plateaus; in the Lake of the Ozarks watershed, Osage River principal drainage basin; and the Missouri River major drainage basin. Four archaeological sites: the Gaylord Pasture Site, the Kowertz site, the Barry site, and the Lotterer Site were located and recorded by the reconnaissance. Three of the sites contained materials from the middle to late Woodland periods. One site had no cultural affilitations. Keywords: American Indians artifacts.
